Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

I like burritos and talk about brains. My wardrobe of choice consists of gym clothes and cozy sweatshirts. I have degrees in all sorts of things (Psychology, Philosophy, Social Sciences, and Social Work). I believe coffee is one of the finer things in life (but to each their own). Connecting authentically with others makes me happy, and so does creating. I want to influence perspectives and make the world more understanding of ourselves, others, and humanity.

While I do hold a master’s level degree in social work, and while this blog is filed under the mental health topic, AND while my thoughts are highly motivated by my learning and my academic and professional experiences…I choose not to restrict my content based on my career representation. Life is about more than what you paid to learn and our experiences and intrinsic value as human beings should be placed before professionalism and formality and all things structured under white supremacy culture. We can learn so much from each other if we each both shared and listened. Humanity first.
